Blanket

The granny rectangle blanket is now complete! I'm rather proud of it. It's warm and cosier than it looks. I made it with Rowan Bamboo Tape which is fairly heavy but also cheap on ebay (it's been discontinued) and nice to work with. Pictures below...

In other news my mum gave me her old bike last week so yesterday I took it to be checked over. Rode it on the way back and realised I don't think I've ever ridden on flat ground and it feels pretty different to riding up or down hill. But maybe its just the fact I've not been on a bike outside the gym in about 10 years. When I was younger my dad, brother and I would ride up Butser hill or to the country park or around the local villages. I'm looking forward to lots of adventures on it as soon as I'm more confident again.

The whole process was a pain, the person who was going to take my room pulled out so I ended up re-advertising which took a while ... It was nice to have more time with the short commute but for a few weeks there I felt like I was stuck waiting for things to happen, then luckily we found someone nice and then there was the whole moving whirlwind.

I've still got some unpacking to do but I'm pretty much done and all my stuff is here now. It's weird living beck home but much easier than staying over Christmas etc. because all my things are here (I do like my things).

At some point I'll set my Etsy shop back up but probably not until after I've gotten used to my commute!

Sorry if you are a cat person. I think cats are ok but I'm a dog person. I've grown up with them and find them more emotionaly mature than most humans (sorry humans). I've been home a fair bit lately what with friend and family events which is lovely becuase as well as seeing them I get to see our dogs, Isla and Florrie, and my aunts new puppy Bronte.
